Thread: just a question on D1 eletrics

on my 1995 D1 v8
when i turn my head liaghts on i only get the tail lights in the rear bumper
come on is this right?
or should the tail lights in the rear quarters also come on??

when the foot is on the brake all 3lights the two quarter pannle lights and the middle light on the rear barn doorcome on and revers lights also work fine
i just wonderd about these other tails lights


also second question
when i want to use the cruise control it dosnt work , push the dash button in to activate cruise con and it dosnt light up even pressing the set and + dosent do any thing whats could stop this working?

i only ask this because one of my parker light blew out and i lost my A/C untill it was replaced i couldnt use A/c
any help would be usefull

The part inside a globe that produces the light is known as a filament. In most cars the stop and tail lights are in the one globe. This is achieved by running two filaments within the globe, one for stop and one for tail lights. When power is passed through a filament it lights up. By making the filaments a different resistance one will light up brighter than the other. So if the dimmer filament has blown you won't have tail light but you would still have a stop light. Hope this makes sense.

The reason there was no power going into the lower pillar lights is because they are high intensity lights which are for use when visibility is poor eg. fog. They are operated from a separate switch and it is illegal to use them except when visibility is poor.
